An efficient use of space allows the MoonRay to offer a build size of 5 in x 3.2 in x 9 in (12.7 cm x 8.1 cm x 22.9 cm), with a 100-micron resolution that can layer down to 20 microns.

“This advanced high-resolution technology is available on a much larger scale and we were determined to bring it to consumers in an affordable desktop model,” SprintRay Founder and CEO Jasper Jing Zhang said.

Co-Founder and Engineer Amir Mansouri added: “We worked hard to combine quality and affordability in the MoonRay, using the most advanced technology and highest-quality components. We believe the users of desktop 3D printers should have affordable access to the best technology on the market.”
